Public Enemy is Still Funky

One of the BEST bands/groups to ever put it down was Public Enemy, also known as PE to their many legions of fans. Well the music hasn't stopped for these rap pioneers as they are currently on the road doing show after show. Lead rapper, Chuck D turned 50 yrs old on 8/1/2010 and can still rock the mic. Do yourself a favor and be on the lookout for these guys. You have to experience it for yourself.

Happy Independence Day

We celebrate the

FREEDOM

Hip Hop's New Secret

The world of Hip Hop is VAST. The art form has managed to continuously expand its audience and its influence on popular music. Let me spin that another way.... Hip Hop Music is Pop Music. Yeah... I said it. AND... just like all other music forms that derived from the African-American experience, Hip Hop is seeing an onslaught of other cultures "adopting" it. This video shows the growing sub-culture of Hip Hop rhyme battles. Notice that NONE of them are of African-American descent.

News Worthy? Travolta's Family Pets Killed at Airport

Sometimes I really have to wonder WHY certain things are considered news worthy. Today, a report from the Bangor Daily News poped up on the scene to report some sad news about John Travolta and his family.

Apparently the actor and his family had two dogs that were accidentally hit and killed on the tarmac by an employee at Bangor International Airport last early last Thursday morning 5/13/2010. The incident was considered important enough that  Bangor's Interim City Manager Bob Farrar sent out notification to the nine city councilors to confirm the accident. The two small dogs were taken for a walk by a non-family member when an airport service pickup truck struck them by accident.

Now... don't get me wrong. I know that pets can be an extended part of a family and that it is a tragedy to them. But is it news worthy?  Not in my humble opinion!

Michael Jackson look-alike Throws First Pitch

OK... who thought it was a good idea to have a Michael Jackson look-alike throw out the first pitch of a baseball game? I mean... was MJ a huge baseball fan? Did he epitomize the state of Florida or the Florida Marlins franchise? Well, if you as me, it looked awkward as hell. Jacko could dance, but he wasn't super athletic or anything and to see a look-alike on the mound in full MJ gear was just STRANGE!!! Well, apparently, the Florida Marlins marketing team thought different when the decided to have Michael Firestone, the Michael Jackson look-alike, throw out the first pitch during the May 15th baseball game between versus the New York Mets.
